As Valentine’s Day #ValentinesDay arrives, here’s one of Ireland’s greatest love poems: Dark-Haired Miriam Ran Away by Patrick Kavanagh (1946), inspired by Hilda Moriarty, a 22-year-old med student he became infatuated with. Later set to music as Raglan Road and famously sung by Luke Kelly.

Rest in Peace, Andrew Ranken, Pogues original drummer. 🙏 🕯️ #pogues #thepogues

The #pogues Peace and Love album is dedicated to the 95 people, who at the time of release, had died following Hillsborough tragedy. Here's a fine track from that album, penned by a man who attended the match, Phil Chevron. Rip to the 97. #jft97 #ynwa #lfc #peaceandlove youtu.be/boJR79qnNkc?...
